| Summary: | We present a
novel method of judgment analysis called Error Parsing, based upon an
alternative method of implementing Social Judgment Theory (SJT). SJT and Error
Parsing both posit the same three components of error in human judgment: error
due to noise, error due to cue weighting, and error due to inconsistency. In
that sense, the broad theory and framework are the same. However, SJT and Error
Parsing were developed to answer different questions, and thus use different
methodological approaches in the analysis of error. While SJT makes use of
correlational methods, Error Parsing uses absolute differences. We discuss the
similarities and differences between the methodologies and provide empirical
evidence for the utility of the Error Parsing technique. Keywords: Social
Judgment Theory, judgment, error.
